| Transaction
Situations |
Exit Strategy/
Retirement |
Providing ownership with an avenue to discreetly
sell a business
and pursue other interests. Our long-term investment horizons
provide entrepreneurs with the confidence and peace-of-mind
that their business and its people will continue to prosper
despite a change in control. |
Management
Buyouts |
Financing incumbent managers in the acquisition of privately-held
companies, corporate divisions and small public corporations. |
Management
Buy-Ins |
Financing an outside manager or management team to acquire
a target company. While we prefer that management have previous
industry knowledge, this is not essential depending on the
personnel involved. |
| Divestitures |
Large public or private parent corporations selling off
non-core business units. |
| Recapitalizations |
An entrepreneur/owner sells a majority stake of their business,
but retains a meaningful ownership interest and stays on to
run the company. |
|
| Cornerstone will not make minority investments
nor will we provide growth capital to early stage ventures. |
